﻿﻿HiH﻿﻿﻿

It's me, Bob! In case you're interested, I'm a mommy of some awesome pugglepires who I stay home with. I love to read most genres, mostly monster tales, horror, fantasy, romance....a whole bunch of stuff, really! If you have any questions for me, feel free to shoot me a message over on FB, I usually get back to those pretty quickly!

Following his none-too-soon reunion with his friends at the safe house, Zed is hoping things can finally fall into a stable routine, but in post-virus Austin, things are far from stable. On a mission to raid the ammunition bunkers at Camp Mabry, Zed and Murphy spot a group of the newer, naked infected, who are exhibiting some sophisticated and disturbing new behaviors, such as scouting and hunting – for them.

After a narrow escape, the two pass the home of Mr. Mays on the return trip, stirring Zed’s predictable rescuer impulse. Finding Mr. Mays dead, Zed brings fellow chain gang escapee Nico along to join the group, whose numbers have grown again, thanks to their merger with the girls on the riverboat, where the group has moved, as seems to be the safest hiding place… Or is it?

﻿My Review﻿

First, a little background: I started reading this series when I got a boxed set of post-apocalyptic books on a free day on Amazon. The first Slow Burn, Zero Day, was the first book in the set. I haven't read any more in that boxed set, because as soon as I finished it, I immediately went back to Amazon and bought the others that were available at the time, which were the first 4. I read all of them at once, finishing the next morning. I bought this one the day it released, as well, but have made myself hold out on reading it, to make the wait for number 6 a little shorter!Now, on to the review. Once again, Mr. Adair had me wrapped up in the story. I adore Zed. He's a jackass sometimes. He doubts himself. He's real. But more than him, I LOVE MURPHY. I am in serious need of a What Would Murphy Do bracelet. Now, I love the other characters, too. I've gotten attached. I'm trying not to leave any spoilers, so I'll just say this: DAMN YOU, YOU EVIL AUTHOR MAN! Why you gotta go making me bawl???? I kept thinking, nah, Null Spot will make sure everything is okay! But no, instead I wound up sobbing over my kindle! Ah! I love this story as a whole, and book 5 didn't deter from that fact in the slightest! I can't wait for book 6!Bob Says: 5/5 Platypires!
